[ Takes place five years previously, the night the Kyuubi attacked Konoha. ]
The world was painted in shades of flame-blue and blood-blue and desperation-blue. (His eyes couldn't see that third but he knew it was there; he breathed it with every breath, thick and cloying.) Hiro's Byakugan took in the destruction around him, displaying a scene of monochrome catastrophe.
He was too tired for it to even affect him any more. Twenty-six hours since the first alarms had sounded--they still blared in the background unattended, repetitive klaxxons echoing through the fog and smoke--and Hiro had settled into a rhythm now.
First find the Kyuubi; he didn't need the Byakugan for that, following the screams would do. ( Screams were good, it meant someone was still alive. ) |
